Narendra Modi a marketing man, can even lay claim to Taj Mahal: Akhilesh Yadav

November 23, 2013

Lucknow, Nov 23: Chief minister Akhilesh Yadav took a dig at Narendra Modi on Friday saying the BJP's PM aspirant's campaign was heavily based on strong marketing tactics. Without taking Modi's name even once, Akhilesh said, "Ye sales aur marketing ke log hain. Inhe agar America ka visa milta to Taj Mahal ko bhi claim kar lete." (These people have built their image with the help of strong sales and marketing. If they were granted the US Visa, they would even stake claim to having built the Taj Mahal.)

The CM was speaking at an event to flag off radio taxi services in 13 municipal cities of Uttar Pradesh.

Akhilesh also ridiculed Modi's dig at Gujarat lions taking over UP's Chambal valley. Implying UP knows how to tame the Gujarati lions, Akhilesh said the state government is making preparations to cage them within a "grand" 300 acre cage. Cheekily, he added that if Gujarat gave UP its lions, the most populous state of the country had also sent its share of "animals" to it.

Akhilesh, who has so far steered clear of political mud-slinging was more vocal than usual. A day after the Samajwadi Party rally in Bareilly drew large numbers, the CM's comments put a question mark on reports of a tacit understanding between the SP and the BJP. He said that the real battle of votes in UP was now actually a grassroots level fight over development. "This a battle of development in which SP is bound to win. People who are nothing more than media constructs will also be demolished by the media," he added.

UP CM, who laid emphasis on the government's commitment to its poll promises, said he was happy with the speed at which the government machinery was executing its plans. On Friday, Akhilesh laid the foundation stone of a 500-bed super-specialty cancer hospital and research and referral centre, flagged off radio cab service, launched online tax collection service for commercial vehicles in Ghaziabad and Lucknow and also laid the foundation stone for Awadh Shilp-gram along the lines of Dilli Haat, to encourage indigenous handicrafts.

Akhilesh also said that the ongoing political race in UP was worth nothing. "People from other states may come and stake their claim, but if you look at history you will know UP produces the prime ministers," he said, hinting at SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav's prime ministerial aspirations.

Akhilesh also sharpened his attack against BSP chief Mayawati, claiming she had given out too many "sweeteners" to investors in UP and set a bad precedent. Saying his government and its officers were doing everything to attract industry, he said the BSP government has left the state's economy in a mess. "The condition of our economy is such that in many cases we will not get loans even if we want them," Akhilesh said. He also alleged that "pancham tal" (CM's secretariat) during Mayawati's term was forever researching new ways to increase corruption. The SP government, he added, was having to battle this while bringing fresh development to the state. "Now there are other people who are coming to UP to loot its coffers," he added, making yet another reference to Modi.

Ayodhya, Aug 2: With the foundation laying ceremony of the grand Ram temple around the corner, the work at the stone-carving workshop of Ram Janambhoomi in Ayodhya has reached its final stage.

Speaking to news agency, caretaker of Ram temple stone workshop Hanuman Yadav said, "Stonework is ready for the construction work till the first floor of the temple. Cleaning work is almost done but some work is still left which will be done soon after the trust's meeting."

Talking about the characteristics of the sandstone chosen work the construction, he said, "It was chosen for the construction as it can withstand rigours for thousands of years. These designated stones are minutely carved according to the need of the temple."

The stone-carving workshop for the Ram temple construction was established in Ayodhya by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) in 1990.

On August 5 when Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Ayodhya for rituals that will mark the beginning of Ram temple construction, Hanumangarhi is the first stop he would be visiting.

Donald Trump's India visit preparations show 'slave mentality': Shiv Sena's mouthpiece Saamana

News Network

February 17,2020

Mumbai, Feb 17: The Shiv Sena on Monday said the ongoing preparation for the much awaited visit of US President Donald Trump is a reflection of the "slave mentality" of Indians.

Trump's India trip is like the visit of a "Badshah" (emperor), an editorial in Sena mouthpiece 'Saamana' said.

Taking a dig at the construction of a wall on a plot having several slum structures in Ahmedabad ahead of Trump's visit there, the Sena said the US president's trip would neither stop the fall of rupee's value in forex market nor offer betterment to those (slum dwellers) behind the wall.

"Before Independence, British King or Queen used to visit one of their slave nations like India. The kind of preparations going on from taxpayers' money for the arrival of Trump is similar to it. This reflects the slave mentality of Indians," it said.

The Sena also took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation's (AMC) move to build wall on a plot to "hide the slums" on the route through which Trump's convoy would pass.

"Former prime minister Indira Gandhi had once given the slogan 'Garibi Hatao', which was ridiculed for a long time. It seems now Modi's plan is 'Garibi chupao' (hide poverty)," the Marathi publication said.

Is there any financial allocation for such a wall being built in Ahmedabad? Is the US going to offer loan to India to build such walls across the country? it wondered.

"We have heard Trump is going to be in Ahmedabad for only three hours but the wall construction is costing almost Rs 100 crore to the state exchequer," it said.

It is basically a political arrangement between Prime Minister Modi and US President Trump, the Sena claimed.

Last year, 'Howdy, Modi!' (a mega event jointly addressed by the Indian prime minister and Trump) was organised in the US, it noted.

A similar programme, "Kem Chho Trump" (Gujarati expression for how are you Trump), has been now organised (in Ahmedabad) ahead of the US elections, chiefly because of a sizable number of Gujarati people living in America, the Shiv Sena claimed.

"But this visit of President Trump is neither going to stop further fall of rupee in the forex market nor offer betterment to those behind the wall (being built in front of slums in Ahmedabad)," it said.

The Sena said Trump is "not someone very wise or a statesman or someone who cares for the whole world", but he has to be treated with respect as he represents the mighty US.

"Sometimes you have to treat someone with respect to get your things done," it quipped.

The AMC on Friday said the construction of the wall, around four feet in height, was approved much before Trump's Gujarat visit was finalised.

Trump is scheduled to visit Modi's home state Gujarat on February 24.

He will visit the famous Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad and take part in a roadshow with Modi. After that, the two leaders will inaugurate a new cricket stadium in Motera and address a gathering there, with an expected audience of over a lakh people.

While it was earlier speculated that the programme would be called 'Kem Chho Trump', the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation on Sunday tweeted a series of posters confirming that the event is now christened as 'Namaste Trump', apparently to give it a pan-India appeal.
